ElectraGlaze ESD Floor Finish
ElectraGlaze features a proprietary, aqueous co-polymer blend of 22 active ingredients (most other esd finishes a mere 17). Our exclusive formulation provides dramatically superior chemical, water and slip resistance with the best resistance to abrasions and scuff marks in the industry. ElectraGlaze's permanent conductive properties add minimal resistivity to esd conductive flooring and tend to actually improve the conductivity of static dissipative flooring. With ElectraGlaze scuff marks are easy to remove (no more scouring your floor on your hands and knees with Scotch Brite;). Note: avoid application in high humidity conditions, high humidity tends to make all esd floor finishes develop an oily feel.

Weight per case (4X1 gals) 40 Lbs
Weight per gallon, 10 pounds.
Storage: Store tightly in cool dry area. Do not mix other floor finishes or add left over product from previous applications.
Application: ESD floor finish is not applied like standard floor finish, take the time to understand the difference . If the flooring has been previously coated with products other than those supplied by United SCP, is dirty or dingy or has been coated by the flooring manufacturer, strip the floor using ElectraStrip. Follow the directions for dilution and use and double rinse with cool clean water prior to applying ElectraGlaze.
Always use clean containers and non linting finish mops or wax applicators to apply ElectraGlaze. For string style mops soak the mop to remove any impurities and rinse thoroughly. Wring out the mop as dry as possible and dip the mop into the E-Glaze. Wring out the mop so that it does not drip and apply a thin even coat of E-Glaze to the entire floor. Don't allow the mop to become dried out as streaks in the floor will result. Allow the floor to dry thoroughly. The drying time will vary depending on temperature and humidity generally taking between 2 to 4 hours. After the first thin coat has dried for at least 2 hours reapply a second coat. For ESD flooring 2 coats are ideal. High speed polish for ultimate shine using ElectraShine Spray Buff.
Maintenance: Dry dust mop frequently to remove abrasives and dirt that can degrade the performance of the anti-static properties. Remove scuff marks by spray buffing with a clean pad and ElectraShine Spray Buff. Damp mop the floor only as needed using ElectraClean.
Note: ESD floor finishes (from United or any other Manufacturer) will not reliably render standard flooring conductive enough to meet the latest ANSI standards. To reliably provide this level of conductivity coat the standard flooring as is shown here.
